In this document Planned Parenthood argues that you if you are HIV Positive you have a RIGHT to have sex and not disclose it to your partner! You read that right. Your right to an orgasm means that you do not have to warn the other person that they could contract a deadly incurable disease.

Don't believe me? Let's look at the very wording of the document itself:

"Sharing your HIV status is calleddisclosure. Your decision about whether todisclose may change with different peopleand situations. You have the right todecide if, when, and how to disclose yourHIV status. You know best if and when it is safefor you to disclose your status."

"There are many reasons that peopledo not share their HIV status. Theymay not want people to know theyare living with HIV because ofstigma and discrimination withintheir community. They may worrythat people will find out somethingelse they have kept secret, like theyare using injecting drugs, havingsex outside of a marriage or havingsex with people of the same gender.People in long-term relationshipswho find out they are living with HIVsometimes fear that their partnerwill react violently or end therelationship."

So because your partner may end the relationship with you, you don't have to tell them that having sex may be a death sentence.

"Some countries have laws that say people living with HIV must tell their sexual partner(s) about their status before having sex, even if they use condoms or only engage in sexual activity with a low risk of giving HIV to someone else. These laws violate the rights of people living with HIV by forcing them to disclose or face the possibility of criminal charges."

Well it doesn't get any more blatant than that. Those evil countries that say you must disclose your known positive HIV status before having sex are trampling all over your right to assault with a deadly virus. So apparently a right to sex supersedes the right to life and the bodily rights of the other person.

"Get involved in advocacy to change laws that violate your rights. Contact your local network of people living with HIV. "

Darned Right! We need to overturn those evil laws that try to protect innocent people from being assaulted with a deadly virus - because orgasm!

There's more in here, but I think that this is damning enough as is.

However, none of this should come as a surprise since planned parenthood already makes is profit (sorry... surplus) off because the right to sex outweighs the right to life.

That is the biggest evasion of an answer you've ever given and this isn't myopic at all. It is their very own publication!!! It is being myopic to avoid seeing what they are advocating.

Do you believe that a person should have to disclose their HIV positive status before having sex with someone?

So has Planned Parenthood denounced that their international organization is promoting the right to have sex without divulging one's HIV positive status? This brochure is promoting concepts that will spread HIV.

After the first paragraph you quote, there is another paragraph that begins, for instance, "Safer sex is a shared responsibility" and a section later on about practising safe sex.

Your title is also a misrepresentation as there is no such thing as a "right to sex" and instead the sexual rights talked about are rights relating sex. None of them however are a "right to sex" where you can demand sex whenever you want it.

Likewise as the booklet points out, sex encompasses a wide range of acts:

" Many people think sex is just about vaginal or anal intercourse" But, there are lots of different ways to have sex and lots of different types of sex. Sex can include kissing, touching, licking, tickling, sucking, and cuddling"

Some of the acts that fall under their definition of sex have absolutely no chance of passing along HIV. Likewise, for those where there is a chance this will be very low due to the aforementioned focus on contraceptives.

In this document Planned Parenthood argues that you if you are HIV Positive you have a RIGHT to have sex and not disclose it to your partner! You read that right. Your right to an orgasm means that you do not have to warn the other person that they could contract a deadly incurable disease.

Don't believe me? Let's look at the very wording of the document itself:

No, not at all. I am giving them the benefit of the doubt that they know the best way to encourage discussion of infection. Swaziland, for example, has ~30% of the population infected. Think the same message works in the US as in Swaziland?

The way to confront things like AIDS is to start by removing the sort of politics you have interjected here. You don't like PP anything, so you project scorn on this message without giving any thought to it.

Is not telling someone you are about to engage in sex with that you have HIV in any possible way going to reduce the likelihood of that person getting HIV. Please tell me what universe that logic works in.

By that logic, there should be no food labels because people don't have the right to know everything that is being put into their bodies.

The way to confront things like AIDS is to start by removing the sort of politics you have interjected here. You don't like PP anything, so you project scorn on this message without giving any thought to it.

Hallmark of pro-life. Making things worse for everyone one indignant thoughtless policy at a time.

These pamphlets were distributed to the World Association of Girl Scouts and Girl Guides. This includes girls from the USA. So obviously PP (international if you must) believes this to be true to every nation in the world.

So not only does the brochure advocate for every possible degenerate sexual activity, and abortion to cover up the unexpected results of irresponsible sexual activity (cha-ching!). They also advocate the right of minors to take potentially harmful substances without their parent's knowledge. To top it all off, you should not have to divulge to the person you are having sex with that you have HIV/AIDS. And to go even further, everyone should petition their governments not to have any laws protecting innocent people from having knowledge that they are about to have sex with an HIV+ person.

Is this really your belief? Every HIV positive person has the right not to inform someone they are going to have sex with that they are HIV positive?

If so I would love to understand how this will improve rates of AIDS around the world. I really would.

In this document Planned Parenthood argues that you if you are HIV Positive you have a RIGHT to have sex and not disclose it to your partner! You read that right. Your right to an orgasm means that you do not have to warn the other person that they could contract a deadly incurable disease.

I really think if you could remove your blinders on this one, you would read it that way. As it sits, anything that remotely stinks of PP you reject.

Like I said. Pro-life, making life worse for everyone. Lets just not talk about HIV, how about that?

Does that remove the fact of what they did say? It is like putting out a brochure on drinking and driving. You could talk about all the benefits of calling a cab, arranging with a nearby friend for a place to crash, or having a designated driver.

You could also note that seat belts drastically improve one's chance of surviving any crash that did happen.

But noting that in the end driving drunk is a matter of personal freedom and that everyone should petition their local governments to remove laws preventing drinking and driving.

* However, none of this should come as a surprise since Planned Parenthood already makes is profit (sorry... surplus) off killing human beings, because the right to sex outweighs the right to life.

Alright, time for a dose of reality.

Planned Parenthood (in addition to only 3% of its services being abortion-related) has 2 and only 2 sources of government funding: Title X and Medicaid.

The Department of Health and Human Services states that Title X funds cannot legally be used for abortion services, and the Hyde Amendment prevents Medicaid funds from being used for abortion services.

In short, PP does not use federal funds - that is, taxpayer dollars - to pay for abortions because it is illegal to do so.

I don't see any benefit in arguing this one out with you. On the one hand, we have an organization working to encourage people to discuss HIV status, and engage in safe-sex, and on you side we have <crickets>.

I think I will stick with the guys actually working to make the world a better place to live.

And, as I noted, he is barking at the wrong organization. IPPF is not PP USA, but never let that get in the way of bashing anything remotely involved in improving sexual health issues.

In this document Planned Parenthood argues that you if you are HIV Positive you have a RIGHT to have sex and not disclose it to your partner! You read that right. Your right to an orgasm means that you do not have to warn the other person that they could contract a deadly incurable disease.

So because your partner may end the relationship with you, you don't have to tell them that having sex may be a death sentence.

Well it doesn't get any more blatant than that.

So apparently a right to sex supersedes the right to life and the bodily rights of the other person.

Then they should not be advocating for people to get the laws protecting the innocent partner removed.

I really think if you could remove your blinders on this one, you would read it that way. As it sits, anything that remotely stinks of PP you reject.

Please show me the error of what I posted. I took only their words without twisting them in any way. While they mention all sorts of stuff about protection etc... at the end of the day, they ultimately believe that people's sex life is more valuable than the life of the person they are having sex with.

Ah avoiding the difficult things.

Look, I have noted, you are reading through a distorted lens. They are not encouraging anyone to not disclose, they are doing just the opposite. It is your delusional thinking that not talking about things like HIVs is the better solution. It is YOU who are twisting the words.

Find anywhere in this brochure where it says you should not disclose HIV status before having sex? Show me anywhere they are not encouraging open discussion? It is so damn obvious you can't see straight on anything that has PP anywhere near it.

These and maybe more are all involved in one abortion. This is an easily manipulatable statistic. On a dollar percentage the numbers would be very different. Selling a $10 box with 2 pregnancy tests in it is different than a $500 abortion.

The Department of Health and Human Services states that Title X funds cannot legally be used for abortion services, and the Hyde Amendment prevents Medicaid funds from being used for abortion services.

And what does that have to do with Planned Parenthood encouraging people to demand government rescind or not implement laws that require HIV positive people disclose their infection prior to engaging in sex. Is this the type of company you want responsible for health services?

In short, PP does not use federal funds - that is, taxpayer dollars - to pay for abortions because it is illegal to do so.

Planned Parenthood ran at a surplus of $127 million dollars because of the money it earns off of abortion. Pretty good for a non-profit. Yet none of this has to do with abortion. A good try a deflection from the topic though.

After the first paragraph you quote, there is another paragraph that begins, for instance, "Safer sex is a shared responsibility" and a section later on about practising safe sex.

Your title is also a misrepresentation as there is no such thing as a "right to sex" and instead the sexual rights talked about are rights relating sex. None of them however are a "right to sex" where you can demand sex whenever you want it.

The title is only so long.

Likewise as the booklet points out, sex encompasses a wide range of acts:

" Many people think sex is just about vaginal or anal intercourse" But, there are lots of different ways to have sex and lots of different types of sex. Sex can include kissing, touching, licking, tickling, sucking, and cuddling"

Some of the acts that fall under their definition of sex have absolutely no chance of passing along HIV. Likewise, for those where there is a chance this will be very low due to the aforementioned focus on contraceptives.

Does that remove the fact of what they did say? It is like putting out a brochure on drinking and driving. You could talk about all the benefits of calling a cab, arranging with a nearby friend for a place to crash, or having a designated driver.

You could also note that seat belts drastically improve one's chance of surviving any crash that did happen.

But noting that in the end driving drunk is a matter of personal freedom and that everyone should petition their local governments to remove laws preventing drinking and driving.

I don't see any benefit in arguing this one out with you. On the one hand, we have an organization working to encourage people to discuss HIV status, and engage in safe-sex, and on you side we have <crickets>.

I think I will stick with the guys actually working to make the world a better place to live.

Still no answer. It does tend to get quiet when you don't have an answer to the indefensible.

Answer to what? I have answered you, asked several question you evade.

There is nothing disturbing in the brochure, you are using selective reading.

So not only does the brochure advocate for every possible degenerate sexual activity, and abortion to cover up the unexpected results of irresponsible sexual activity (cha-ching!). They also advocate the right of minors to take potentially harmful substances without their parent's knowledge. To top it all off, you should not have to divulge to the person you are having sex with that you have HIV/AIDS. And to go even further, everyone should petition their governments not to have any laws protecting innocent people from having knowledge that they are about to have sex with an HIV+ person.

Is this really your belief? Every HIV positive person has the right not to inform someone they are going to have sex with that they are HIV positive?

If so I would love to understand how this will improve rates of AIDS around the world. I really would.

This is your spin. To me, and I am not entirely behind the thing, they are trying to encourage people to actual disclose HIV status.

Then they should not be advocating for people to get the laws protecting the innocent partner removed.

I really think if you could remove your blinders on this one, you would read it that way. As it sits, anything that remotely stinks of PP you reject.

Please show me the error of what I posted. I took only their words without twisting them in any way. While they mention all sorts of stuff about protection etc... at the end of the day, they ultimately believe that people's sex life is more valuable than the life of the person they are having sex with.

Like I said. Pro-life, making life worse for everyone. Lets just not talk about HIV, how about that?

Ah avoiding the difficult things.

Look, I have noted, you are reading through a distorted lens. They are not encouraging anyone to not disclose, they are doing just the opposite. It is your delusional thinking that not talking about things like HIVs is the better solution. It is YOU who are twisting the words.

Find anywhere in this brochure where it says you should not disclose HIV status before having sex? Show me anywhere they are not encouraging open discussion? It is so damn obvious you can't see straight on anything that has PP anywhere near it.

It says that you should not have to and that you should petition governments from having such laws.

It is like saying drinking and driving may not be the right thing for you and there are many alternatives, but it is your personal right and you should petition the government to repeal all drinking and driving laws.

Answer to what? I have answered you, asked several question you evade.

There is nothing disturbing in the brochure, you are using selective reading.

What question have I evaded? I will gladly answer.

You're the one who won't clearly answer. But here let's give you a simple yes or no question.

I am in agreement with the Planned Parenthood International brochure titled Happy Healthy and Hot when they make the following statements:

"Some countries have laws that say people living with HIV must tell their sexual partner(s) about their status before having sex, even if they use condoms or only engage in sexual activity with a low risk of giving HIV to someone else. These laws violate the rights of people living with HIV by forcing them to disclose or face the possibility of criminal charges."

and

"Get involved in advocacy to change laws that violate your rights"

There is a simple yes or no question with no twisting of the content of the brochure for you to answer.

So not only does the brochure advocate for every possible degenerate sexual activity, and abortion to cover up the unexpected results of irresponsible sexual activity (cha-ching!). They also advocate the right of minors to take potentially harmful substances without their parent's knowledge. To top it all off, you should not have to divulge to the person you are having sex with that you have HIV/AIDS. And to go even further, everyone should petition their governments not to have any laws protecting innocent people from having knowledge that they are about to have sex with an HIV+ person.

It is like saying drinking and driving may not be the right thing for you and there are many alternatives, but it is your personal right and you should petition the government to repeal all drinking and driving laws.

This is what it says about drinking"Some people have sex when theyhave been drinking alcohol orusing drugs. This is your choice.Being drunk or high can affect thedecisions you might make about sexand safer sex. If you want to havesex and think you might get drunkor high, plan ahead by bringingcondoms and lube or putting themclose to where you usually havesex. That way you won"t forgetthem in the heat of the moment.Your partner must be able to freelyconsent to sexual activity. It is notokay to have sex with someonewho is so drunk or high that theyare staggering, incoherent or havepassed out."

Apparently you missed the obvious analogy.

All this is clearly in effort to get people TO DISCLOSE.

Then why is it advocating that you have the right not to disclose your infection to someone you might realistically infect and laws that state you must disclose should be overturned?

These and maybe more are all involved in one abortion. This is an easily manipulatable statistic. On a dollar percentage the numbers would be very different. Selling a $10 box with 2 pregnancy tests in it is different than a $500 abortion.

Sure. Prove PP is breaking the law by manipulating them.

Then why is it advocating that you have the right not to disclose your infection to someone you might realistically infect and laws that state you must disclose should be overturned?

Doesn't fly.

Well, you DO have the right, and the laws of countries are not necessarily respecting medical privacy.

So. Again, you are dismissing page after page of discussion about DISCLOSING HIV because you have the wording about trying to protect rights.

Yea. Right back to what I said to start. Your looking at this through your hate for PP USA.

These and maybe more are all involved in one abortion. This is an easily manipulatable statistic. On a dollar percentage the numbers would be very different. Selling a $10 box with 2 pregnancy tests in it is different than a $500 abortion.

Sure. Prove PP is breaking the law by manipulating them.

They are under no legal obligation to do it either way. There is a perceptional advantage to break it down to make abortions appear to be a tiny insignificant aspect of their organization.

The Department of Health and Human Services states that Title X funds cannot legally be used for abortion services, and the Hyde Amendment prevents Medicaid funds from being used for abortion services.

Nothing, because PP isn't doing that. You're referring to an entirely different organization.

Planned Parenthood International - so you are claiming there are no ties of any sort between them and that they accidentally share a name? Has PP ever condemned PP international?

Are you willing to condemn PPI over this statement?

In short, PP does not use federal funds - that is, taxpayer dollars - to pay for abortions because it is illegal to do so.

Planned Parenthood ran at a surplus of $127 million dollars because of the money it earns off of abortion. Pretty good for a non-profit. Yet none of this has to do with abortion. A good try a deflection from the topic though.

I didn't take issue with anything you said except what I quoted.

So your original comment addressed nothing of the topic being discussed... You took issue with nothing?

So, in other words, nothing in reality supports your viewpoint, but you want to believe it anyway. Gotcha.

Planned Parenthood International - so you are claiming there are no ties of any sort between them and that they accidentally share a name? Has PP ever condemned PP international?

I'm claiming they're not the same organization, and they're not. So attacking one for the actions of the other is disingenuous.

Are you willing to condemn PPI over this statement?

Sure.

In short, PP does not use federal funds - that is, taxpayer dollars - to pay for abortions because it is illegal to do so.

It is not medical privacy when your actions are about to infect someone with a deadly virus. It is called clear and knowing consent.

So. Again, you are dismissing page after page of discussion about DISCLOSING HIV because you have the wording about trying to protect rights.

One could write pages about the ills of drinking and driving. Yet if at the end you say, but it is your right to drink and drive and endanger yourself, those with you and others on the road - you have defeated your argument - particular when your message further encourages people to have drinking and driving laws repealed.
